How Do You Stay Cool?

After suffering through 20 hours of sweltering heat in our house
I knew the kids were NOT going to just
"grin and bare it"
any longer.
So I sent them outside for some much
needed...
COOL DOWN!

They can't say NO to a trampoline being drenched by a sprinkler!

And while those 3 hooligans played,
I snapped pictures of Keira.

Little Miss Chubby.


"Why can't I play in the water with them?"


"I know I look a-DOR-able in this,
but you have about 2 seconds to snap
a picture before I rip it off!"

And here there it goes!


And in case you don't have kids yet,
here's little secret to keeping them outside
longer then 3 minutes.

Snacks, drinks, bubbles, water, chalk.
They are a MUST.

I think this little beauty is having a good time!

I am always looking for ways to escape the heat too. It's finally here and in full force, although we were really enjoying the not-so-hot weather we were having a few weeks ago.

My kiddo's have been playing in the backyard water toys, too. Sure helps to keep them from fighting 24-7.

And hello chubby baby! What a buddha belly that girl has!
